Week 15: Networks and HTML5

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been doing a load of labs on different networks and network topologies in Hardware & Networks. We learned how to make a CAT-5 cable; stripping the wires, untangling them, figuring out which ones to pair and twist, and then how to crimp it in to a connector. Tedious work - definitely not for me, but at least I know how to do it now, which will come in handy for any assignments and exams.

We got some worksheets for HTML5, too, in Dynamic Web. Felt a bit daft learning regular HTML up until now and then having HTML5 sprung on us - why not learn the industry standard from day one? Then it's straight in to your head for a life of web design and coding, instead of fumbling behind with an older standard - most websites these days use HTML5.

Me (right) disgruntled with not learning HTML5 from the start

Counselling meeting went well; problems identified in full and a course of action planned out to try and help me with those problems.
